“Do you think that’s funny?”

“Yes. 😁”

@droidboy @Schepp @btconf @marcthiele Ja was ist denn hier los? 😅 Danke für die lieben Worte, Schepp! 💚 Und schön dich kennenzulernen, Thomas.

What’s a great open world RPG for a 13-y/o who already played Zelda TotK and Horizon Zero Dawn? (I guess it’s still a bit too early for games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring… 😉)

Any recommendations? 🤔

It happened again: update 6 lines of CSS in an older website project == wrestle with Node, nvm, outdated package versions, Gulp, gulp-uglify, gulp-terser, and other stuff just to deploy this tiny change.

All that over-engineered short-term magic is so wildly inefficient in the long term. 😂

My mother told me a story about my grandmother today. When the nazis came to power in Germany, they prohibited certain music to be played. Whenever my grandmother sat down with her Cello while waiting for my grandfather to return home, she proudly played some of this music.

Never stop playing.

My #CSSDay talk about designing with #CSS now has >11k views on YouTube, which just blows my mind! 🤯 I expected maybe a few hundred max.

I’m so glad it resonated with so many people and seems to hit a nerve. (…and also that I didn't fuck this up. 😂) Thank you! 🙏💚

What are examples of fantastic *home pages* of personal websites? 😍 Any site that really stuck with you? And why?

And what’s some useful advice regarding a great “home” that you would give someone building their site?

I’m asking on behalf of my #OwnYourWeb #newsletter subscribers = sharing is caring 🤗💚

I’m writing a #newsletter called Own Your Web about designing, building, creating, and publishing for and on the #Web. It took a little work-induced break but the next issue is ready and will go out this Sunday.

If that sounds interesting, sign up here:

If you’re attacking the @internetarchive, you’re not a next-level hacker.

You’re just an a**hole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re Mozilla’s (unnecessary?) new logo:

Me: “What do you think? What does this look like?”

7-year-old: “A rotated broken M? A flag? A … duck? An ostrich!?”

That logo works really well, obviously … 😬😂

The end of an era.

I just deactivated my Twitter account.

You should, too. 😊

It begins. 😱

My son is starting to read science fiction. So far, he read Solaris, The War of the Worlds, Brave New World, and now 1984.

What are other great #scifi novels that are (maybe even better) suited for a young teenager?

@pfefferle MacRumors uses the name attribute only and I don’t see any bylines on their account yet… 🤔

@pfefferle 🎉 Does it need the property attribute to work correctly? The blog post only mentions the name attribute, but I see you and The Verge using property="fediverse:creator"…?
